1.
Asset Purchase Agreement.  This Subordinated Promissory Note (“Note”) is executed and delivered by Maker pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Holder and Maker.  This Note is unsecured.  Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

2.
Interest.  Unless there exists an Event of Default, interest shall not accrue or be payable with respect to this Note.

3.
Maturity Date.  Unless accelerated at a prior date following an Event of Default, on April 30, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”), all unpaid principal and any accrued interest shall be due and payable.  All payments due hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America at Holder’s address as set forth in the Purchase Agreement or at such other place as designated in writing by Holder.   Any payment on this Note not paid when it is due (including sums due by reason of acceleration following an Event of Default) shall bear an interest rate equal to eight percent (8%) from the date said payment is overdue until paid in full.

4.
Prepayment.  Maker shall have the continuing right to prepay this Note, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium of any kind.

5.

any instrument reasonably required by any Secured Lender and reasonably satisfactory to Holder to subordinate this Note in right of payment to any and all advances, indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of Maker, in favor of such Secured Lender. Maker, for its part, agrees to make all Permitted Payments (as such term is defined in that certain Subordination Agreement dated January 1, 2017, by and between Holder and Wells Fargo Bank, National Lender, or any amendments, modifications, or substitutions thereof) of principal and interest under this Note.
 
6.
Waivers.  Maker hereby waives diligence, presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever.  Maker agrees to remain bound to pay the principal and interest payable hereunder in full, notwithstanding any extensions or renewals granted with respect to this Note, the release of any party liable hereunder, or the release of any security now or hereafter securing this Note.

7.
Post-Closing Conduct of Maker.  Maker covenants and agrees that, so long as any portion of the Note remains outstanding, Maker shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, each of the following:

a.
Taxes.  Maker shall pay and discharge in full, prior to the date when penalties for non-payment thereof would attach, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charged imposed upon Maker and its respective properties and income and all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon the property of Maker, except where Maker disputes such amounts in good faith.

b.
Compliance with Laws.  Maker shall comply, and cause each of its subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Maker or any subsidiary or its business.

c.
Notification of Certain Events.  Maker will promptly notify Holder of (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Note, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before any governmental instrumentality or other agency which, if adversely determined, could materially impair the right of Maker to carry on business substantially as presently conducted or could materially affect its business, operations, properties, assets or condition, financial or otherwise, and (iii) any development in its business or affairs which may be materially adverse to Maker, disclosing the nature thereof.

Should an Event of Default occur, Holder, at its option, may accelerate and make immediately due and payable any principal balance owing on this Note without demand or notice to Maker and/or may enforce such other rights or remedies as may be available to Holder under this Note or as otherwise available at law or equity.

9.
Remedies upon Default.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Maker shall be responsible to pay all costs of enforcement and collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, whether or not such enforcement or collection includes the filing of a law suit and whether or not such law suit is prosecuted to judgment.

Governing Law; Venue.  The parties hereto agree that this Note has been executed in the State of Ohio.  This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its choice of law rules.  Maker hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas or the Federal Court for the Northern District of Ohio in any such action; (b) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim, defense or objection to the venue of such courts (whether on the basis of forum non conveniens or otherwise); (c) agrees that it will not attempt the removal of any such action to any other court, whether state or federal courts of the United States or the courts of any other country; and (d) consents to service of process on such party in the manner provided in Section 11.

13.
Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Note shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Maker and Holder.
